@marsapi/cli@0.0.162
Configure Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build and other coding tools for Mars AI with one command
AI Security Review
scanned 14h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI sends runtime command telemetry to its configured gateway by default, with an environment-variable opt-out. The inspected telemetry contains command details and masked errors rather than clear evidence of secret theft, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running a CLI command; telemetry is enabled by default.
Impact
The service can receive command activity, selected flags, timing, status and masked error text.
Mechanism
The CLI records command events and posts them to the configured gateway. TELEMETRY=0, false or off disables collection.
AI rationale
The CLI sends runtime command telemetry to its configured gateway by default, with an environment-variable opt-out. The inspected telemetry contains command details and masked errors rather than clear evidence of secret theft, so this is suspicious telemetry rather than malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- CLI commands automatically record command names, selected flags, status, duration and error messages for telemetry.
- Telemetry is enabled by default; it can be disabled with the TELEMETRY environment variable set to 0, false or off.
- The CLI sends telemetry events to /api/platform/vibecode/telemetry on its configured gateway.
Evidence against
- Telemetry includes package/runtime metadata and command events; the inspected code does not show automatic collection of credentials or file contents.
- Error messages are masked for common secrets and home-directory paths before being included.
- The telemetry request uses the configured gateway and the CLI's configured API key.
